Machine-generated from the object's image on Jul 2026. Not curatorial; treat deities, names, and signs below as the model's best reading, not authority.
A head-shaped clay figurine featuring a female face in profile/3⁄4 view, with painted or incised eyebrows, eyes, and lips.
The image shows the upper part of a small sculpted head with a prominent forehead, downcast/neutral expression, and stylized facial features. The hair appears as a smooth mass with a central part or swirl near the crown; individual hairlines are not sharply carved but the surface is lightly modeled. The eyes are indicated with painted or incised outlines, including arched eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes; the lips are closed and painted or incised along the mouth line. The ears are visible on both sides of the head. The background is plain and the object is photographed from the front, with the neck and lower chin included; no stand or additional attributes are visible. No legible hieroglyphs, cartouches, Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text appear in the image. No clear deity attributes (e.g., crowns, horns, distinctive iconographic regalia) are visible beyond the generic female portrait style.
